would it be feasible to have a semi-hidden domain like tls.techpowerup.com or something that does not/cannot downgrade tls? like, im pretty sure there's nothing to be gained from doing a tls downgrade attack against tpu, but ...
Why? You mean just TLS 1.3? That will lock out a significant portion of the internet for no reason? or 1.3 and 1.2 ? or 1.3 and 1.2 and 1.1? 1.0? SSL3? SSL2. There's also like 50 cipher suites to take into account, too

yes, it'd just be a secondary domain that would do the same as good ol' www.techpowerup.com, but w/o support for obsolete tls/ssl versions (mind you, i am not suggesting the removal of that, nor its legacy support - merely an additional, alternative domain that does not allow tls downgrading (as ive said, tls downgrade opens one up to a tls downgrade mitm attack - again, this is probably theoretical only; i very much doubt it'd ever happen but yeah)

My everyday internet experience is free of ads and peaceful.
I dont pay for any streaming service neither do i use reddit or airbnb.
As for search engine i recommend searxng, https://searx.space/
My phone is degoogled, besides i use it maybe once a month.

I knew the equivalent to guys like you in the 90's, they were the very weird people living out deep in the woods, some without electricity. Nothing wrong with that, but for most people it is ... impractical. I mean yeah Google and the world sucks and I wish I too could not use my phone for weeks, but that isn't what life is like.

your right about Add's tho, ive found a way to beat them i never buy anything i see in a add unless i have great need of it. that's the way my Aspie brain thinks of it, it sorta makes me think i winning :).
Haha, me too. In-fact, if a company makes commercials that annoy me, I'll vow to never buy their products. In reality, I probably forget and buy them eventually anyway.
